Whaa-stick a fork in me, I'm done!

Just have to whine a little-went to bed at 10pm, woke up at 11:35, stupid ppl were out spotlighting and scared me as the lights were shining on our property. Woke up at 1:30, one of my kids had to go potty, up again at 2;30, I had to go and the right side of my rib was just killing me-up again at 4:30, tossing and turning all night, ended up going from the couch, to our bed, and finally upright in the recliner. I was in tears-I don't know what is behind the rib pain-It might be the cartilage loosening PIA!

I know how you feel!  I woke up waaay too many times, and then just gave up on the idea of sleep around 4:30am.  My lower back hurts so much that I wake up crying. 

We are in the home stretch now... it sucks hardcore, but we can make it   :)  (somehow...)

Hope your ribcage pain goes away soon 

 Hugs!! I feel you!!  Being pregnant with little ones is hard... and the whole hips seperating... TONS of fun!!  Hope you get to meet lil' Madeline soon!!

  OK.. I have to ask...What in the heck is "spotlighting"?  I too have been having a hard time sleeping. I have to rotate atleast once an hour, that hip I am laying on starts killing me and i have to manage flipping myself over along with my body pillow and another pillow between my legs. Oooh the joys of pregnancy. I find it most amusing though when I am trying to get up to pee, but am stuck like a turtle on my back thrashing around until i can break free of my covers and somehow manage to get up! My husband is well entertained! Won't be much longer now! We can do it! :)

Spotlighting is what hunters do. We are out in the country, we are a good 550ft from the road, they take this huge spotlight and shine it in the fields, woods, our property-looking for deer. Which is stupid b/c they can't go hunting now anyway. So these bright lights were shining on our house, the windows-makes me nervous b/c we are building a new house and have a lot of unsecured supplies (lumber etc.) I get nervous easily anyway.

I have been sleeping in the recliner and no rib pain- I can sleep sitting more upright. Could you take some extra strength tylenol before bed or try a heating pad? GL chickie- I am 15 days away from my dd-daughter#2 was 13 days early, #1 was 6 days, #3 was 5 days, but......#4 was 2 days "late". I was working more with the first 3 and more stressed, wonder if that had any impact......

 Have you dropped yet? Before I did I was getting horrible pain in my ribs, I guess from my uterus pushing up while I was laying down. Totally went away once he settled down lower.

I really don't know-I kinda thought I had yest. just from looking at my belly. I still got some rib pain when I moved wrong on the recliner. I do think it has to do with the rib cage spreading out from all the belly weight. Check out my 37-38 week pic. the bottom of my belly looks lower......I don't feel more pressure below though......oh well, soon enough

I'm so done too.

Big hugs.xx

Thanks, chickie, Hugs back! It will be worth it!
